Question... why was Katty and Christian on world at 9pm Uk time. But not shown on the Uk news channel? I would have thought even due to the time difference as it’s an hour of news they could still simulcast both anyways.

On Wednesday 4th November, Outside Source will be on air on BBC World News an hour earlier than normal at 1800 UK, filling in the gap between the afternoon and evening NC/WN simulcasts while BBC NC is showing the BBC News at Six.
